The Points Are Made Up

I mostly use social platforms for conversation, self-expression, and sharing, and I’ve largely stopped trying to “build a brand,” though if I did focus on business opportunities I’d prioritize YouTube, the podcast, the newsletter, and maybe Blue Sky. I also note how algorithm changes make reach unpredictable, reinforcing that the “points are made up.” Links Mentioned in This Episode: Bluesky: 1,747 Mastodon: 673 Threads: 869 TikTok: 1,324 Twitter: 2,687 YouTube: 1,470 Twitch: 141 This podcast: 22?
